This is a good listen, Boselli is still in great shape and this virus almost took him out.  He believes these experimental drugs were the reason he started feeling better within 3 days.

 Those were not experimental drugs - it was an experimental treatment. Doctors are allowed to use any approved drugs in treatments unless they specifically have been banned from doing so. Normally they are very hesitant to do this due to the Tort situation in this country.  If these malaria drugs do end up working we can thank the Koreans as it would have been highly unlikely that US doctors would have ever have taken the initial risk.  (Another reason for Tort reform).

I must have missed that story. 

 

The Connecticut Governor claimed that a 7 week old infant had died of the Coronavirus. A postmortem autopsy showed that she had the virus. However the coroner officially has stated the cause of death is being investigated. There have been reports that the baby died in an accident (I heard drowning - but from an iffy source).  From reactions that are happening the accidental death is probably true (maybe not drowning) and now there seems to be a reaction on the opposite extreme.

That is a stupid over reaction to what Connecticut did with their infant corona death.

yes, i saw that afterward, but left the post as it was since if you'd been actually thinking you'd realize that either way---complying with either pcs or me--would be acceptable and also for you to know how it should go for the future

 

however, you're going to get dinged for the " (and you maybe)---for one thing, i am under no obligation to take the time to read what you or anyone else posted in detail and analyze it in such a circumstance like this...you questioned a poster's reading comprehension without any supporting evidence (i.e. quotes from your post that would show such)...it's not up to me to go find your support, you made the claim

BTW, here is where I got the mortality rate info. Simple calculation should give you the rate.

 

You have to scroll down to the statistics section under the map.

Much lower than the estimated 12% that was coming out of Wuhan back in January (officially its at 5% there now). 

Ok to clear this up once and for all - you need to use the data from 27 January to properly refute me.

then prove your claim that's what they're doing by quoting relevant counters that show it , don't just accuse 

 

that way you also avoid the risk of getting a rule 5 warning for that (and warnings can become automatic timeouts depending on previous violations)

PCS basically called me off, while also trying to give a hint to those two on what they (and you maybe) are missing.  I'll leave it at that.

How is the covid19 mortality rate half of the flu? It's running at about 3% (2.95%) in the US right now and 5.4% worldwide. Much much much higher than the flu mortality rate (which runs at about 1% most years).

Again - Reading comprehension seems to be a serious problem for some on this board.

Seems like we are overreacting as usual. The reported mortality rate (so far) is less than half of that of the flu.

After the draft, and there is no NFL season in 2020, what's going to happen in 2021 ?

Will we be #2 overall in that draft too ?

If there is no season, I believe so. However if there is no college football season then each teams scouting departments are going to have a major challenge accurately assessing prospects. I imagine the number of 1st and 2d round busts will spike for that class, while lower rounds and FAs will have more diamonds in them than usual.

I posted some great parenting advise in today's Stadium's "Redskins trade out of 2d pick thread" probably would have been more appropriate here. Being April fools thought it would a good to gin up a message from the Governor saying this years school would not count so it would be repeated for all grades come August. Daughter had a fit.

But then why are the hospitalizations spiking now?  And why are there so many negative test results?

Not my study I just said I hope they were right.  Pure conjecture on first question but here goes - maybe they are spiking now because we are just now identifying/reacting to COVID19 and previous pneumonia hospitalizations weren't ID'd as COVID19 (Basically it was lost in the seasonal flu hospitalizations which have been worse than normal this year)???? As for the 2d question that is a bit easier they need to check for anti-bodies not COVID19 additionally they aren't checking most people who are not sick. BTW even if this Oxford study is wrong, checking for anti-bodies would be a good idea anyway as it would free up those people to return to work.

Well here is something interesting. It would be great news if this turns out to be correct.

The new coronavirus may already have infected far more people in the UK than scientists had previously estimated — perhaps as much as half the population — according to modelling by researchers at the University of Oxford. If the results are confirmed, they imply that fewer than one in a thousand of those infected with Covid-19 become ill enough to need hospital treatment, said Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study. The vast majority develop very mild symptoms or none at all. “We need immediately to begin large-scale serological surveys — antibody testing — to assess what stage of the epidemic we are in now,” she said. The modelling by Oxford’s Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Disease group indicates that Covid-19 reached the UK by mid-January at the latest. Like many emerging infections, it spread invisibly for more than a month before the first transmissions within the UK were officially recorded at the end of February..........

So Gov. Abbott of Texas has said that all abortions in Texas are suspended now. Talk about taking advantage of the situation to stop particular healthcare for women. 

 

The way I see it, the only people taking advantage of the situation are Republicans trying to line the pockets of the rich and corporations, and taking away healthcare and loss of income relief for We the People.

I thought he he said all elective procedures were suspended (Medical supply related)? Should he have said all elective procedures except abortions were suspended? Look at how that would have been viewed if done that way in New York.

Unfortunately she did (poured would be a better verb though). But in her defense I imagine it would be only that very rare politician that wouldn't try to take advantage of a situation like this. Even Bush (W) (who I like) did with 9-11 and Obama did with the great recession.

Dunno if maybe there's a large number of "people who died of Corvid, but didn't get tested, so they aren't listed in the official stats".  But our "death/case" number looks fantastic.  Up there with Germany and Swiss.  Maybe some of the predictions don't come true.

CBS Reportedly Planning A Defenders-Style Star Trek Crossover Show  

 

>>>>

We were starved there for a while, but we’re currently being well-fed when it comes to Star Trek TV series. Discovery kicked off this new era of Trek on television, with Picard recently joining it. There’s also a Section 31 spinoff for Michelle Yeoh’s Georgiou officially in the works as well, with more being kept under wraps for now. Soon, we could be about to have more Trek shows on at the same time than ever before.

And it sounds like CBS is hoping to capitalize on that. Sources close to We Got This Covered – the same ones who said Discovery had been renewed for a fifth season and a Captain Pike spinoff is in the works, both of which have since been confirmed by The GWW – say that the network wants to do a big crossover series modeled after Marvel and Netflix’s The Defenders. As you’d imagine, it would bring together characters from Discovery, Picard, Section 31 and the aforementioned Pike show....<<<<

How the hell are they going to be able to use Georgiou in a section 31 spinoff given where she ended up in Discovery (Is Dr Who going to intervene?). 

disregard.

Think of it this way.  Let's suppose that the COVID-19 death rate ends up being 0.1%, and it is as contagious as the flu.  Wouldn't you essentially double the death rate per year?  So let's say flu kills at a rate of 0.1%, and COVID-199 kills at the same rate, one would expect the overall cold/flu season death rate to jump. If flu kills 10,000, COVID-19 kills another 10,000.  Maybe not a double, it would go up.  

From what I've read and been briefed COVID-19 becoming endemic is the bigger worry than the overall death rate.  It is likely when all is said and done the death rate probably will be closer to the regular seasonal flu than the 1918 flu pandemic, but like you said if it becomes endemic you get that repeated every year.
